It seems like RAH, XJT, and SKW pilots make up the bulk of the "usuals" in the regional forum and we have to wait less time to hear about those three airlines than for news of any other carrier. If I'm on a trip I generally stay away from the internet and thus don't really hear ANYTHING about any company unless somebody calls me to tell me.

Fine, skirt around it.
While we're at it. At XJT, 1st year, we get 4% match for our 401K plus an additional 2.5% contribution from the company. So for a 1st year FO, we get 6.5% contribution from the company for putting in 4%. Do you guys have that additional contribution amount? For a 18-year employee here, we get 6% match plus a 6% contribution from the company. That equals 12% contribution from the company for only putting in 6% = total of 18%! What does RAH give you?
That is also an expense I'm sure CAL wanted to get away from.

It involves my industry and everything has a ripple effect. I doubt there are people who love not having a job and before someone says "they still have a job" if you aren't getting paid then don't have a job. All I'm saying is it is a big deal. Some may like it, some may hate it, some may be scared of it, some just see it as a strategic play but for whatever it is it's a big deal.

From: ERJ FO
Do you know why RAH got XJT flying? It is because they have a cheaper operation. How much do your FO's get paid over there? How much do their FO's get paid on the 170? We have a more costly contract than RAH does, don't tell us they didn't cost CAL less.
Why don't you compare a 5-year 170 FO at RAH to a 5 year DC-9 FO at NW.

At least we now know your true feelings. Why don't we at XJT reduce our pay 1% below yours and get rid of all these nice extra benefits that we have and then steal your flying.
You still didn't answer my question. What does RAH give you for your 401K?
